New version of me...

The other week, I had a haircut. It was my first in a year. Is it just me, or are the women who work in hair salons a little intimidating? No? Just me? Anyway, I needed a change. My hair has been looking so limp and lifeless. So I cut it. Here's what it looked like before...

And.. after. The lighting is pretty bad, but you can tell I chopped a lot of it off, right? What do you think? It'd take a miracle for my hair to not look wispy and horrible at the front, but I like it. It makes my head feel a lot lighter. Try not to notice what a state my living room is in.

Here's the reason why. We always go to N's work Christmas party the first weekend in December. It's a formal affair, and you get the first sneak peak of what I'll be wearing...

Isn't it pretty? I'm not much of a girly girl, but I do so love getting dressed up, going out and I get to dance for this one night. Have a good weekend everyone.

I need to read Neil Gaiman. What do you recommend to start with? I'm envious you have the first 6 books of the Outlander series! Though I have no room for all of them, I have the first one and have been dying to read it. I love series, I love knowing there's always more to read, but I hate starting a series when they aren't all published yet. For me, waiting for the last 4 Harry Potter's was torture!

Love the cut, LOVE the dress! Have fun! I don't know what I'm wearing to the Christmas party at Danny's work, but it's sadly much less formal (being a mix of engineers, salesmen, and steel fabricators in reindeer antlers).

Really love the dress - is it one-shouldered? Promise I won't step on the end of this one :-)

If you're not liking how the front of your hair lays, you might try a flattening iron at the crown. Don't do the whole strand, just the first few inches or so.

And woman, I just clicked on your picture to make it bigger SPECIFICALLY to examine the state of your living room. That is CLEAN in my world. CLEAN AND SPOTLESS and white I aspire to. I am not even exaggerating a teensy bit. Seriously.

Beautiful dress!!I hate getting my hair cut, but once it's done, I really love the first few weeks after a hair cut when it feels so light and free!And I really like how much I save on conditioner when I go shorter! :)
